Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 2-gang trailing socket extension lead is for users needing to power multiple low-power devices from a single UK mains socket. Its key benefit is providing two accessible outlets from one point, offering convenience for home offices or entertainment setups. A caveat is that it is rated for a total of 13A, so high-power appliances should not be used simultaneously across both sockets. This lead converts a standard UK plug socket into two, is rated at 13A, and conforms to BS 1363/A safety standards.

FAQs

What is the maximum power this lead can handle?

This lead is rated for a maximum of 13 Amps. The total power drawn by all devices plugged into both sockets must not exceed this limit.

Can I plug high-power appliances like a kettle or heater into this lead?

It is not recommended. High-power appliances can draw close to or exceed the 13A limit on their own, leaving no capacity for other devices and potentially causing an overload.

Does this lead have surge protection?

The product description does not specify surge protection. It is a basic extension lead designed to provide additional outlets.

What does 'BS 1363/A' mean?

BS 1363/A is a British Standard that specifies safety requirements for 13A switched and unswitched one-way adaptors and multi-way adaptors. It ensures the product meets rigorous safety and performance criteria for use in the UK.

Are the socket covers tamper-proof?

Yes, the description mentions 'Tamper-proof Screws', which means the socket casings are secured with screws that are difficult for children to remove.

How long is the cable?

The cable length is 2 meters.

Can I connect another extension lead to this one?

It is not recommended to daisy-chain extension leads. Connecting multiple leads can increase the risk of overheating and is generally unsafe.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices

Ensure the main plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Check that the wall socket itself is working by testing another device. Verify that the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed 13A, as this could trip an internal fuse (if applicable).

Overheating or unusual smell

Immediately disconnect the lead from the mains socket and all connected devices. Do not use the lead again. This indicates a potential fault or overload. Contact the retailer or manufacturer.

Loose plug connection

Inspect the plug pins and the wall socket for debris or damage. Ensure the plug is inserted straight and firmly. If the wall socket is loose, do not use it and seek professional electrical advice.
